We're simply too fascinated with computers as ends in themselves. They're tools. Obsessed with a drill, we drill holes in everything, hire people to drill holes and so on. But does everything have to be accessed with a tablet?
The piano keyboard, made up of a logical array of analog "controls" is still a beautiful interactive interface. Apple obviates these "legacy" technologies as a matter of natural devolution, just for the sake of itself, but when does that end as a reflex without reflection?
That reflection is also double metaphor: the back-light of a screen, attracts our attention like a moth to light, failing to see the projected images and the meanings they might contain, rapt only by the light.
